“We had an amazing experience with Jen watching our energetic Vizsla puppy over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive to his needs, making sure he got plenty of exercise and care. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pup, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“This was my first time Rachel took care of my dog, and I will definitely book her again. She took so good care of Snum. She understood my dogs sometimes weird behavior and worries (thunder, rain, wind etc.) she kept me informed every day, and she even cleaned my kitchen! I never worried for a second leaving Snum and my house in her care.”
“Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.”
“Angela is fantastic! She was able to house sit on a last minute request and completely put me at ease with her compassionate and responsive care. She took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and sent me frequent updates and photos throughout. My dogs were calm and happy when we returned home. I will absolutely be requesting her more in the future!”
“Haley was amazing. Mowgli's never been calm even with us around but with Haley around, he was something else..(in a good way). Definitely booking her if we're ever back in Tampa! Thank you, Haley : )”
About: I love all dogs and treat them like my own dog. I have a small havanese who is my favorite thing in the whole wide world. I work from home and can take care of the dog anytime of the day and can go multiple times throughout the day if needed. I treat all animals like my own. I have the time to take care of the animals throughout the day. My dog is my favorite thing.
“She was amazing with my pets! She took them on walks everyday, to the pet park, and made sure to send me daily end of the day updates on everything they did! I’ve never felt more safe for my pets while leaving, i’m usually nervous about leaving them but now that I have Taylor I feel so good that i’m leaving them in good hands!”
“Samantha was amazing! My sons girlfriend visited while Samantha was here watching the dogs and text me saying my dogs LOVED her. This is huge to me because my dogs are special and like my kids, I don’t trust their care to just anyone. Samantha encountered an issue out of her control with my puppy and handled it like a pro and contacted me to fill me in. Now to reinforce my escape artists crate for next time so she doesn’t get herself in more trouble! Thank you Samantha!”
About: I had dogs growing up and used to cat sit for my neighbors. I taught my dogs to open their cages and other small tricks. I just graduated from college and am currently hunting for jobs. I plan to spend at least four days a week caring for animals in the Tampa Bay Area. I’m happy to care for your pets in whatever way’s preferred. Caged, free roaming, etc. I’m willing to work with whatever makes my clients most comfortable.
About: I treat every dog like family, providing a safe, loving, and playful environment. I focus on personalized care, constant attention, and consistent routines for comfort. I am a student taking remote classes, which means I’m home most of the day. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and regular bathroom breaks. I follow your pet’s routine closely, offer a calm and safe environment, and make sure they feel loved and secure while you're away. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines to help reduce stress. I offer plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect the space, and make sure the pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.
“Isabel was amazing while watching my kitty for the past 4 days! She kept me updated throughout the entire booking with pictures and quick responses, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and I could tell my cat was in great hands. Highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter—I’ll definitely be using her again!”

Fairoaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any dog sitting service outside of friends and family so we were really nervous but Rachel made us feel so confident and comfortable the entire time. She sent us daily updates and pictures and my dogs instantly loved her! Everything went smoothly and I felt relaxed on vacation knowing my house and babies were taken care of. I will 100% be booking her again and recommending her to friends!
Maya did an outstanding job for us. She accepted a last minute request, which included a 6-day stay at our home while we were out of town on vacation. She connected very well with our 72 pound medium Bernedoodle, giving him lots of attention and care. Everything went smoothly and she remained focused and supportive to the end, even when our return flight was delayed by 3 hours. Thanks again Maya.
Michele was amazing. She gave my puppy Lila a grand adventure while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent plenty of pictures and updates to keep me informed. I know my pup was in great hands and looked so happy in all of her pictures. I’m so lucky to have found Michele to house and dog sit for me, she made it less stressful and easy! Will definitely use her again!
Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.
